The Cronut™ has reached worldwide fame. Created in New York by pastry chef Dominique Ansel, it combines the flaky richness of a croissant with the simple pleasures of a filled donut. We haven’t tasted the real thing (yet), but have noted that a few bakeries in L.A. land are trying to jump on the cronut-wagon. Our three contenders are Semi Sweet Bakery, downtown L.A.; Frances Bakery, in Little Tokyo; and DK’s Donuts & Bakery, in Santa Monica.

Have you seen another cronut around town? Do tell! The comments section is down below.

This review may be dated by this point. I went to DK’s two weeks ago and they had such a wide variety of Cronuts that the one tried by the reviewer may have been one of their earlier creations, and therefore sub-par. I bought two dozen (expensive @ $5+ a pop) which had every flavor they made and everyone at work loved them, including myself. The one in the review was one of their “okay” ones–I wasn’t a fan either. But the Bacon covered one was so good I have no words other than, it must be tried. If you really want to try what could be called the LA version of the Cronut, DK is the place to check out ASAP!

Omg. Just had the cronut from KETTLE GLAZED in Franklin Village in LA and it was AMAAAZING. I was still trying to comprehend what I was eating by the time I was done inhaling it. Try it!
